Some New Tobaccos I'm Trying...

[frank13]

I just made an order to Cigars & Pipes. In addition to pipe cleaners and a new pipe tool, (having lost the previous one, much to my disappointment), I've decided to try some new tobaccos.
I've ordered Frog Morton Cellar, Dunhill Nightcap, Dunhill Royal Yacht, H&H's Signature House of Lords, and H&H's Marquee Magnum Opus. Looking forward to it... :: Hope everyone had a merry Christmas. Happy New Year!

Curious to see how you like Royal Yuck, I'm actually a fan. You also reminded me that I have a ton of Magnum Opus I need to try. Enjoy your TAD.

Sounds like some tasty baccos you got coming. I am looking forward to sampling more Virginias this year and finding my perfect flake.

Royal Yacht, for the nic-hit. Nightcap for the blend. Cellar Frog because I've heard such good things about it. The two H&H blends, because I really really like/liked H&H's Black House.

I love FMC It is better aged but is really good right out of a new tim also.

It's always exciting when an order contains some new blends!

I've tried and liked all your choices except House of Lords, which I'm sure is good!
My current order contains several new-to-me blends.

I grabbed some C&D Briar Fox, H&H Viprati, H&H Spectre and some MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured cigars.

Can't wait to try these! ::

Royal Yacht kicks butt, literally. I remember the first time I smoked it after a few puffs I was literally stuck to my couch, and I was like wow, this is some amazing tobacco.

Nice!! Thanks for the review of Royal Yacht. I was looking at the Virginia Spice, but decided to pass it by, this time. I'm a big fan of Lane's Crown Achievement. The first time I smoked it, I got the Latakia/Perique spice, and then it gave way to a beautiful sweetness with the Virginians, but it's been a case of diminishing returns. While I enjoy that tobacco a lot, I've not had the same experience since, so I'm kind of trying out different tobaccos, again.

House of Lords was one of the Latakia blends I ordered for my first foray into "Stinky Englishes" (my wife's term). I like it - it's the most robust of the three I ordered (the others being H&H Daybreak and H&H Victorian Stroll), though it's not at Black House's level.
